Adventure sailing is wonderful, but sometimes hard to combine with other aspects of life.
So now that I find myself in a situation where I do not have the possibility to give the boat the time that it needs, I have decided to put it up for sale rather than just have it sitting unattended.

This is a good opportunity if you are currently looking to build or renovate a boat of this class. The Journeyman has proven itself a very fast, capable and easy to handle offshore yacht, and all the core aspects of the boat are in very good shape. But 35 000 nautical miles over 4 years has taken its toll on interior and equipment, and those parts of the boat are in rather poor shape. Most of it should probably be replaced or renovated. This is also a good opportunity to rearrange the interior to your liking.

So if your looking for a turnkey yacht right now this is not the boat for you. But if you are looking to build your own, you can get a very nice headstart here. Just the hull, machinery and rigging of a new yacht like this will cost you maybe 400k EUR and take maybe 8-14 months to complete. I am offering the boat as is at 250k EUR, and it’s already done. Just replace the broken or worn out equipment and redo the interior, and you have a nice new yacht, cheaper and faster than building from scratch!

The boat is currently on land in Stockholm, Sweden. E-mail me for more information!

I married. Got a baby son. So I have plenty of other things on my mind.

But the boat is still there and available for interested parties, so drop me an email if you have questions!

Well folks, it’s time for a little break. Almost 10 000 NM in the last six months. We have safely arrived in Tenerife, and the Journeyman will get a bit of a rest while I tend to other matters. This will mean a bit of a break in the blogging too, I am afraid.

And I’m doing my shifts dressed in thick fleece under full foul weather gear, with gloves and a hat on. We have a very chilly feeling 17°C!!! Is it supposed to be like this?

This time, due to the level of sweat and saltwater everyone is covered with, the test was to wash your hair Neptune style. Now we are home. In the Northern hemisphere.

Thanks to our local crew guy Angelo we got really good help fast. The guys are hard at work, tests were done and the problem identified as a clogged pump inlet in the distributor pump. So now we are on our way again, after just one day of repairs. (and an inactive Sunday).

So we started our crossing towards Cape Verde. But the squally weather, with its frequent calms that require motoring, we soon realized that we had an engine problem. With each squall the engine lost more power, and this time it wasn’t because of clogged filters.

So we have had to go to shore to seek an engineer to fix it. We are now in Recife in northern Brazil.

A small comfort in all this is that we caught a nice 4 kg Dorade just outside Recife. So we got a tasty lunch!

We are planning a crossing from Salvador, Brazil to Santa Cruz, Tenerife, with a stop-over in the Cape Verde islands. These two legs will be 15-18 days and 6-8 days respective. The only cost is your share of food costs.

The schedule is roughly from first week in May to mid June. We are currently 3 in the crew on this trip, so there is room for a few more!

As we move further north we are slowly moving into the “too hot for comfort” zone. On Abrolhos I found this little guy, who obviously needs a pair of slippers to walk on the sundrenched rocks.

I have never experienced a bird trying to eat our fishing lure before. This guy was hungry, and got hooked. Fortunately he was pretty calm about it, and I was able to pull him in and grab him by the beak and unhook him without any fuss. The hook was only sitting in the bone of the hooked part of his upper beak, so he wasn’t even hurt.

Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:19:03 +0000http://journeyman.se/?p=2847For a change we have had fair weather today. Which makes the sunset view from our current anchorage pretty much unbeatable, I would say.

Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:44:17 +0000http://journeyman.se/?p=2845Todays excursion was meant to go to the glacier in Seno Garibaldi. But the ice was too dense, and we were forced to give it up.

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 23:06:03 +0000http://journeyman.se/?p=2840Since a lot of other yachts that passed through here left their mark in the bar, of course we couldn’t be any worse. Thanks to Olof we had a spare Swedish flag that we could sign and put up in the bar!

The guy jumped on the buoy to tie on a line, and didn’t notice that the boat moved away while he was busy tying it. This rather amusing event shows the importance of knowing your knots. Had there been more wind it might not have been so amusing.
